So sorry to hear of the loss Donna, I'm just glad no one was hurt. Once a list of what is needed is available, maybe we could post it somewhere on this board, and see if we can rummage through our parts bins and come up with as much as possible of what is needed?
I know I have several parts that I have either replaced or bought/sourced "just in case" over the years, as have probably a lot of folks here. If we all contributed what we could afford, it might make sourcing the rest of it easier.
Regards,
Robert

Another random thought here. Maybe we could get one of our local GTCS stars out to help Donna take inventory of what is good and what is needed? Preferably someone with mechanical experience? Just throwing it out there, don't want to sign anyone up for something they aren't able to do.

Robert,
You are correct. An experienced Mustang restorer needs to view the damage.

A couple of years ago the MCA made the decision to not allow any cars on the show field with out a fire extinguisher. There were some that were angered at this decision which is hard for me to understand. Fires are rare but that is little consolation when it is your car or the car next to you. For $20 you could save your car or some one else's. That is pretty cheep insurance. I would urge everyone to have one in their car. Even if it does not save the car it is better than just watching it burn.

Yes I had a fire extinguisher but in the situation I was in, if it got out of hand, then I had too much to risk. House, garage, pets, neighbors. I guess you had to be there.
When I go to some car shows with the ambulance it is required to have an extinguisher displayed at the left front of the car and I don't ever have a problem with that.
I was once told, "if you ever wonder if you should call 911...then you SHOULD". So I did.

I didn't mean to start a squabble, but I have to say dalorzo, that not everyone that disagrees with you is an idiot. Not every buyer is as "enlightened" as you, and personally, I use every tool I can to get the price of a car down when I'm buying one. Not original engine/tranny? That should be good for a bargaining chip. Salvage title? Sure, I know it could be something minor, but it could also mean the front end was ripped off by a freight train. If I had a chance to buy two identical cars for exactly the same price and one said "Salvage" or "Rebuilt", I'd go for the other without a second thought.

Donna, sorry your thread got hijacked by something I said. Please know that I was only trying to look out for your best interests.

Steve...it might be time for a road trip again...I can borrow a trailer. Let me know when the snow is gone!

All of you have been so helpful and that is what I needed because this is just overwhelming. I'll have to inventory the parts I have stashed as well, it isn't much though. I get home from work right when it is getting dark and I work most weekends so it's hard to get out there and see exactly what I need. Hopefully this Saturday I can do it. The couple of times I did go out to the car, I cleaned out the trunk and opened the hood and just stared at it and shut it again....couldn't see very well cuz my eyes were brimming.

WOW, am I sorry to hear about your car. BUT it looks repairable, and nobody was hurt.

I live in Loveland, CO and have a nice 10 X 6 enclosed trailer. I'm not sure where you are located, but I would be willing to shuttle parts from or to Des Moines, Kansas City, Albuq, NM, points north, northwest, and west of Denver.
